How HatersBeHatin started their logo design journey

Summary

We would like to stick with the colors we have on the site now, http://www.abadss.com. the dark blue and orange and white, maybe one other color wouldn't be bad for the logo. The Site name is ABAdss.com Please read full brief

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

The site is for Free to Air Satellite Users. It is like satellite TV similar to dish network or directv but different. same concept though. The wording needs to keep the ABA and the DSS seperate. We have no set convention for this, but when we put it out, it is usuall ABAdss.com But our current logo at http://www.abadss.com has the dss in caps but smaller. Just so long as there is a difference between the aba and the dss it doesn't matter

We would like to stick with the colors we have on the site now, the dark blue and orange and white, maybe one other color wouldn't be bad for the logo. We are somewhat partial to silver

it needs to have a satellite of some kind either a dish that is on the ground or one in space or whatever.

We have two design concepts that we are playing with and these are not requirements so feel free to deviate from these as we are open to anything.

1) we were thinking of a metallic or industrial type of logo because this is techology based

2) this is a helper forum and we try to promote friendly helping and a respectful environment, so we were also maybe thinking of a softer "FRIENDLIER" type of logo.

The current logo is in flash, we do not want to utilize flash any longer, we would like a static logo, jpg or gif. We will need a high res version of this to put onto print media, like bus cards, stationary, and promo materials like tshirts etc.
